I wasn't really expecting a whole lot out of this one, so ASWANG really didn't disappoint. I knew pretty much nothing about it before I threw it in and at least I can say it wasn't a total waste of ninety minutes.An Aswang is some sort of Filipino vampire that feeds off of fetuses (and dogs, and adult humans, apparently...), so now you have an idea about where this one is going'.
A guy claims to need an heir in order to claim his inheritance, and employs a pregnant young lady to pose as his wife for the matriarch of the family. Along the way, we find that the family is a little "off", and we figure out the connection between them and the whole Aswang business when the audience learns that the family was raised in the Philippines - though no other real connection is ever made. Anyway - the family turns out to be the vampires and they are out to feed off of the pregnant girl's unborn child...
A couple of nifty gore scenes, a relatively interesting (if not very "fleshed-out") storyline, and a few creepy moments make ASWANG worth a look. There is no nudity, save for a brief titty shot in the opening credits, but other than that - I'd say this one is worth at least a one-time-view for fans of lesser-known, low-budget horror...7/10
